SGS Debate Takes 2nd in GSL, Concludes State Tournament Run

During what many observers marked a “rebuilding season,” Saint George’s collection of young debaters placed 2nd in the GSL Tournament, and qualified two young policy teams to the State Tournament, held at University of Puget Sound over the weekend of March 23-24.  As always, SGS contended against schools of all sizes.  This year’s up-and-coming SGS State Tournament contenders included: Gabi Cunningham (10), Paul Darnall (10), and Tariq Ravasia (9).  Senior Charlie Darnall also made his fourth consecutive appearance at the State Tournament.  He had previously reached the State Final Four three times, one of the all-time great Saint George’s records.  In Fall 2019, Saint George’s will return several of the youngest, most competitive debaters in the Pacific Northwest.  Watch out!
